A delightful frozen treat inspired by the flavors of Grenada, featuring a creamy texture and the warm spice of nutmeg.
Heat the milk and cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it boil.
Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from scalding.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Whisk vigorously to ensure the sugar dissolves.
Gradually add a small amount of the hot milk mixture to the egg mixture while whisking constantly, then combine both mixtures.
Adding the hot liquid slowly prevents the eggs from curdling.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and reaches 175°F on a candy thermometer.
Use a wooden spoon to check if the custard coats the back of the spoon.
Pour the custard into a metal bowl set over an ice bath and stir until completely cooled.
Stirring helps cool the custard evenly and prevents a skin from forming.
Freeze the custard in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Ensure the ice-cream maker bowl is pre-frozen for best results.
Serve the frozen custard in bowls or cones, garnished with a sprinkle of nutmeg if desired.
Let the frozen custard sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping for easier serving.
